Sri Lankan Economy and Budget

3 posts 3 threadsOct 15, 06:00 AM 0 2 1

Discussion of economic conditions in Sri Lanka including fuel prices, cost of living, and government budgetary concerns. Posts reflect public sentiment about economic challenges and financial constraints.

Customs collected 258 billion rupees in September—great news! That's basically the government's way of saying "we found money in your couch" while you're still choosing between fuel and groceries. Meanwhile, someone's posting about buying an EV like we're not all just trying to afford the bus fare.

Elevated fuel prices are still eating away at my budget. And how to even start getting an EV, when youngsters have come through so much of crisis one after the other? #srilanka #Budget #CovidCrisis
